I have a win10 vm running. I can connect to it using Chrome desktop and it works fine but it shows 'you're sharing your desktop' banner which is annoying.
I have 2 old laptops that are blank - 120G ssd's fitted, no OS.
I'd like to connect each laptop to it's own win10 VM so both laptops can be used at the same time.
What I'd like to do is power on a laptop and it runs exactly as if it was actually running windows10 itself.
What's needed on the laptop to do this? Win10, Linux, chrome os, other?
I guess some companies must do this?
I'd like to allow gaming at a later date; I'll mess with gpu passthrough some other day but it's a consideration. Usb would need to be passed thru from laptop to vm to allow pen drives to be used etc.

The server just shut down.
I clicked the "power down" button in the web GUI about 10 mins ago and went over to pull the plug out and it shut down just as i was walking over to it.
I've pulled out the broken drive and inserted a new (different brand, same size) drive.
It's now booting..........

It appears to be the "Dynamix File Integrity" plugin reading all the movies on the server.
At this point, I think I have no choice but to pull the mains power plug out; I can't stop the array; I can't request a reboot. I've lost control of the server. Not really an ideal situation to be in!

OK, i've had a look at the disks and the last part of the S/N is indeed written on the end of the drive. Its Disk 3: R6GXS1XY
The parity check is terribly slow. unRAID hasn't told me that there is an issue or anything.

Something is very wrong!

Guys- I've just opened up my server to install a new disk, and I've noticed that one of my disks is vibrating really quite badly and is making a noise like what you'd hear if you gently place a bit of paper on a spinning fan blade, like a really fast clicking/grinding noise.
So that drive is definitely failing. I've opened up the web GUI for unRAID, and its (apparently) doing a parity check. The check has been running for 18 hrs and is due to finish in 406 DAYS, yes, over a year. This normally takes ~19 hrs to complete.
So something is wrong here.
How do I find out which drive is failing in the GUI?
Why has unRAID not sent me an email telling me a drive is / has failed?
Coming from FreeNAS, I always received an email when a drive was failing.
I don't know what to do apart from unplug the drive and see which one disappears, but that's not really the correct method to diagnose this, is it?
I have 5 drives.
3x 8TB WD RED (3 months old)
2x 1TB 2.5" laptop drives (over 3 years old, i believe).
It is one of the 8TB WD RED drives that has failed - again, 5th drive in a year, 3 were DOA, one failed during pre-clear x 3-cycles.

I have several plugins installed to do different tasks at different times.
Each plugin has a scheduler build in where i can set the time at which it performs its task. These schedulers don't appear in the [settings] -> [scheduler] tab.
This means that It's tricky to figure out what is happening, and when. Please force all plugins to use the [settings] -> [scheduler] tabs so all schedules are in one clearly visible place.
Plugins that schedule I have installed:
These do not add an entry in [settings] -> [scheduler]
- CA Auto turbo write
- CA Auto update Applications
- CA Backup / Restore Appdata
- Dynamix File Integrity
- Fix Common Problems
- Recycle Bin
- Tips and Tweeks
- User Scripts
These add an entry in [settings] -> [scheduler]
- (Parity check)
- (mover)
- Speedtest Command Line Tool
- Dynamix SSD TRIM
